"content": "I want to appreciate the focus on agriculture. The sugar industry has been dormant for many years. I come from Kericho County where sugarcane is grown on a large scale in the lower strip of Kenya in Soin. The factories were mismanaged, and farmers faced many issues with them. I am delighted that farmers will now have money in their pockets. Seventeen factories have been revived, and four are ongoing. I am only concerned that some employees have not been paid their dues. I am asking the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock to ensure these employees are paid."

"content": "On the issue of dairy farming, I am very impressed that farmers will be paid Ksh50 per litre of milk. Animal feeds have become very expensive, and while I appreciate the Ksh50, more should be done so that we do not have to import feeds from Uganda and other countries. The Ksh50 is okay, but I hope it will be progressive and that it will be more next time. I expected the President to also add his voice to the issue of beef and livestock farming. Some areas do livestock farming but forget that many women do not own the cattle; they own goats and poultry. If the President could also add his voice to it, it would be safe for us as"

"content": "Regarding food security, I am very impressed that the fertiliser initiative has borne fruits. We now have plenty of food and a surplus to sell. The NCPB should have more stores to buy more maize. We should also look for markets outside the country so that we do not bring the price down from Ksh3,500, as farmers expect more from this. That is the only way we can be safe in this country; farmers can have money in their pockets. We have middlemen who are exploiting farmers. That is where the National Cereals and Produce Board comes in. However, we are not only concerned with maize; we also have other food products that farmers should engage in. I cannot conclude without talking about sexual and gender-based violence. I appreciated the President in a very special way when he spoke of women not being second- class citizens. So, in this period that we are having the 16 Days of Activism against Gender- Based Violence, I want to thank the President. However, I pray that we will have a gender office in hospitals and not in police stations because that is where everything should revolve. We have victims and survivors who are not able to go to police stations, and when they go to police stations, they are not treated well. In hospitals, where counselling is done, is also where everything else that is concerned with the specimens and..."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to also add my voice to the President's State of the Nation Address that was done on Thursday last week in fulfilment of the mandate vested in him under Article 132(1)(C) of the Constitution of Kenya - To report to Kenyans on the measures the Government has taken and the progress made in realising our national values and principles of governance, and submit the progress made in fulfilling our international obligation. During his State of the Nation Address, the President addressed thematic areas that touch the hearts of the Kenyan people. I sincerely commend him for making decisive decisions to better our country, including cancelling the contentious Adani deal. That shows our Government is listening keenly and remains committed to working hard every day for the greater national interest. As a Member of Parliament for Narok South, I support the President and the Government of Kenya for making those bold decisions. Our President also announced the improvement of our school infrastructure and learning institutions. The employment of 20,000 more Junior Secondary School teachers in Kenya is absolutely tremendous. Creating countless job opportunities for many young people is a remarkable effort. I also encourage the Government of Kenya to fast-track the construction of more classrooms in JSS schools to ensure a smooth transition for our students in January 2025. I also want to comment on the issue of national security. Our people must be secured at all times by the Government. It is imperative to note that we live in an era where criminal activities are rising. For instance, two weeks ago in Narok South, which I represent, we held a consultative security meeting that brought together the sub-county security team, members of the Nyumba Kumi Initiative and the business community after criminal activities increased in Ololulunga Centre. The Ministry of Interior and National Coordination must scale up its operations to protect Kenyans and their property. I also commend the President for making the Government work hard to stabilise the economy by reducing inflation by lowering the prices of basic commodities. It is also worth noting that the Kenya Shilling has stabilised compared to how it was a few months ago against the U.S. Dollar. However, a lot remains to be done."

Last Thursday, our President passionately addressed the need for Kenya to attain food security by modernising KCC. I request the Government to continue pumping more resources into cooperatives so that our farmers in Kenya, more importantly, livestock keepers, benefit directly. It is well known that livestock keeping is the main economic activity in Narok, Kajiado, Samburu, Garissa, and many parts of the country. We must empower our farmers through the New Kenya Cooperative Creameries."
